10-1.Circle and System of Circles
medium
Consider the following statements :
Assertion $(A)$ : The circle ${x^2} + {y^2} = 1$ has exactly two tangents parallel to the $x$ - axis
Reason $(R)$ : $\frac{{dy}}{{dx}} = 0$ on the circle exactly at the point $(0, \pm 1)$.
Of these statements
A
Both $A$ and $R$ are true and $R$ is the correct explanation of $A$
B
Both $A$ and $R$ are true but $R$ is not the correct explanation of $A$
C
$A$ is true but $R$ is false
D
$A$ is false but $R$ is true
Solution
(a) Both the sentences are true and $R$ is the correct explanation of $A$,
because for tangents which are parallel to $x$- axis, $\frac{{dy}}{{dx}} = 0$.
